Takeaway: Our source told us that the Galaxy S4 is incredibly easy to fix&#8212; even easier than the Galaxy S III. Why? The source explained that several components can be easily replaced, including the microSD card slot, the SIM slot, the microUSB charging port, the camera module and more. That&#8217;s great news for potential Galaxy S4 owners that are worried about problems down the line. There&#8217;s a catch, however.

Our source said the Gorilla Glass display could cause a problem. The glass on the Galaxy Note II, and on the Galaxy S III were easier to remove and you could replace the glass component with a third party purchase. Gorilla Glass is expensive, however, and our source estimates replacing it would not be a cheap endeavor&#8230; it could cost more than $200. Despite that single concern our source proclaimed it one of the &#8220;most repairable smartphones&#8221; he or she has ever worked on.

I read through the iFixit teardown of the HTC One, it was destroyed just taking it apart, i'm positive I have made the right choice in device, should anything go wrong with anyones HTC One I can only imagine the only way to fix it is to replace it!

I like this. What would be nice though is if you could swap out the storage as an upgrade. I'm thinking user-swappable parts like a pc. If you can replace the camera module, it would be nice if you could buy 3rd party upgrades.
